Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method, device and vehicle control system for controlling electric wheelchair guides and sliding doors on buses. Background Technology

[0002] In modern urban public transportation systems, achieving "barrier-free access" is not only a reflection of humanistic care, but also a rigid requirement of legal norms and social civilization. Its core objective is to eliminate physical barriers and ensure that all passengers, including those using wheelchairs, people with mobility impairments, and those carrying heavy objects or strollers, can travel safely, conveniently, and with dignity.

[0003] In the era of traditional high-pedestal buses, passengers faced a series of technical and human challenges when getting on and off the bus: The significant vertical height difference: the door steps are typically more than 30-40 centimeters above the ground, equivalent to two or three steep steps. This is an insurmountable obstacle for wheelchair users and also poses a very high risk of tripping and falling for the elderly and those with mobility impairments.

[0004] Narrow passage space and operational difficulties: Even with assistance, lifting a wheelchair onto or off a bus is extremely strenuous and carries the risk of slipping, resulting in low efficiency and making it impossible for passengers to operate the vehicle independently.

[0005] The conflict between traffic efficiency and safety: In order to maintain driving stability and passability, vehicles need a high chassis and ground clearance, which creates a fundamental contradiction with the passenger's need for quick and smooth boarding and alighting.

[0006] Service discrimination and segregation: Physical barriers essentially exclude a segment of the population from regular public transportation services, violating the principle of universal access to public transportation.

[0007] To address the issue of easy access for wheelchairs and strollers boarding and alighting on buses, some buses are equipped with retractable wheelchair ramps and a vehicle kneeling system. The wheelchair ramp is typically a high-strength, non-slip metal or composite material plate, concealed beneath the door steps via a sophisticated set of hinges, linkages, and an electric (or manual) drive mechanism. This ramp can be extended or retracted manually or electrically. By installing the ramp, the final gap and height difference between the lowest edge of the door step and the platform floor can be filled, creating a continuous, complete, and uninterrupted passage surface. The kneeling system is primarily implemented through electronically controlled air suspension. The ECAS system uses height sensors, an electronic control unit, and solenoid valves to precisely control the inflation and deflation of the vehicle's air springs (airbags). Releasing compressed air from the air spring on the passenger door side (usually the right side) causes the entire bus to tilt and lower towards the curb. By coordinating the wheelchair ramp with the kneeling system (e.g., "kneel first, then extend the ramp"), the ramp can create a gentle ramp that meets safety standards (typically with a gradient no greater than 1:8 or 1:12). This allows wheelchair users to safely and independently get on and off the vehicle using their own strength. In other words, the wheelchair ramp and side-kneeling system work together to improve the overall passage efficiency for users, and a gentle ramp also facilitates the quick passage of all wheeled items such as strollers, suitcases, and shopping carts, speeding up the boarding and alighting process for all passengers. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for controlling an electric wheelchair guide plate and a sliding door on a bus, comprising: In response to the activation of the first target switch, the vehicle is controlled to kneel down. The first target switch is related to the vehicle's kneeling function or guide plate function.

Control the electric wheelchair guide to retract into the vehicle; Control the target sliding door to close completely.

[0011] In one embodiment, controlling the vehicle to kneel in response to the activation of the first target switch includes: In response to the activation of the kneeling switch, the vehicle is controlled to kneel.

[0012] In one embodiment, controlling the vehicle to kneel in response to the activation of the first target switch includes: In response to the activation of the electric wheelchair guide plate switch, the vehicle is controlled to kneel.

[0013] In one embodiment, the method further includes: The vehicle's side-kneeling function is turned off, allowing the vehicle to return to its normal height.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first opening degree includes the opening degree corresponding to a distance of 20cm between the two door panels.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first opening degree is the same as the second opening degree, or the first opening degree is different from the second opening degree. The first opening degree and the second opening degree include the opening degree corresponding to a distance of 20cm between the two door panels.

[0016] Another embodiment of the present invention discloses both a bus electric wheelchair guide plate and a sliding door control device, comprising: The first control module is used to control the vehicle to kneel in response to the opening of the first target switch, wherein the first target switch is related to the vehicle's kneeling function or guide plate function.

[0018] As can be seen from the method described in the embodiments of this application, the bus electric wheelchair guide plate and sliding door control method can reasonably control the electric wheelchair guide plate and sliding door in existing buses, enabling the vehicle side-kneeling mechanism, electric wheelchair guide plate, and sliding door to cooperate in opening and closing, with a smooth overall process and no collisions that could obstruct the extension or retraction of the electric wheelchair guide plate or the opening and closing of the sliding door. This significantly improves the efficiency and smoothness of the entire process, ensuring the safe and stable boarding and alighting of wheelchairs or strollers. At the same time, it greatly reduces driver intervention, effectively preventing damage to the guide plate or sliding door due to driver error or incorrect operating procedures.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the current system, the extension and retraction of the electric wheelchair ramps on buses are controlled by the driver using a telescopic switch. Passenger doors (usually sliding doors) and the vehicle's side-kneeling function are also controlled by the driver using relevant switches. In other words, different vehicle functions are controlled by the driver operating different switches. When a wheelchair needs to be pushed onto the bus, or when a passenger needs to push a stroller, the driver must first use the side-kneeling switch to kneel the vehicle, then operate the door switch to open the door. After the door is open, the driver then uses the wheelchair ramp extension switch to extend the ramp. When the ramp needs to be retracted, the driver must repeat the above steps: first, retract the ramp using the wheelchair ramp switch, then close the door using the door switch, and finally return the vehicle to its normal height using the side-kneeling switch. This process places high demands on the driver, as it is entirely manual control. If the driver makes a mistake and the switch sequence is incorrect, the equipment will be damaged. For example, if the wheelchair guide extends without the door being opened, it will collide with the door glass. If the vehicle is not side-kneeling and is high off the ground, extending the wheelchair guide will damage the wheelchair guide pedals. Conversely, if the door is closed, the wheelchair guide cannot be retracted and will collide with the door glass, causing it to be obstructed from retracting. Therefore, the entire system and process are very inefficient.

[0036] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an electric wheelchair guide plate and a sliding door on a bus, comprising: S1: In response to the opening of the first target switch, control the vehicle to kneel, the first target switch being related to the vehicle's kneeling function or guide plate function; S2: After the vehicle is kneeling to a specified height, the target sliding door is opened to the first opening degree. The target sliding door is the sliding door corresponding to the electric wheelchair guide plate. S3: Control the electric wheelchair guide plate to extend until it touches the ground; S4: Control the target sliding door to open completely.

[0037] The method in this embodiment can be applied to the vehicle infotainment system of a bus to control the extension of the vehicle's side kneeling mechanism, the electric wheelchair guide, and the opening and closing of the target sliding door. It enables the fully automated execution of the three functions according to the driver's instructions, ensuring the smooth execution of each function and thus guaranteeing that passengers can safely and securely board and alight from the bus via the electric wheelchair guide, while preventing damage to the sliding door and the electric wheelchair guide.

[0038] For example, in application, the driver can trigger the first target switch to send a command to the vehicle's infotainment system, causing the system to determine whether to activate the side-kneeling, electric wheelchair ramp, and sliding door functions to assist passengers in getting on or off the vehicle via the electric wheelchair ramp. First, in response to the activation signal of the first target switch, the system controls the vehicle to kneel, adjusting it to a specified height. Then, it controls the target sliding door corresponding to the electric wheelchair ramp to open to a certain degree, providing space for the ramp to extend while preventing passengers from entering or exiting through it. Next, when the system detects that the target sliding door has opened to the specified degree, it controls the electric wheelchair ramp to extend, ensuring that its outermost end relative to the vehicle is against the ground. This ensures the ramp is supported by the ground and prevents damage to the ramp when a passenger moves onto it due to lack of ground or vehicle support. Once the electric wheelchair ramp is stably extended and its end is against the ground, the system controls the target sliding door to fully open, allowing passengers to enter and exit the vehicle via the electric wheelchair ramp.

[0039] The bus electric wheelchair guide and sliding door control method based on this embodiment can reasonably control the electric wheelchair guide and sliding door in existing buses, enabling the vehicle's side-kneeling mechanism, electric wheelchair guide, and sliding door to open and close in coordination. The overall process is smooth, preventing collisions that could obstruct the extension or retraction of the electric wheelchair guide or the opening and closing of the sliding door. This significantly improves the efficiency and smoothness of the entire process, ensuring the safe and stable boarding and alighting of wheelchairs or strollers. Simultaneously, it greatly reduces driver intervention, effectively preventing damage to the guide or sliding door due to driver error or incorrect operating procedures.

[0040] In one embodiment, to more effectively prevent driver misoperation, the system can also add an identification process, that is, to identify the surrounding environment through a camera to determine whether the station has been reached, or to determine whether the station has been reached by identifying the current location. If the station has been reached, the system can respond to the operation of the first target switch input by the driver, and control the vehicle to kneel down, etc. If the station has not been reached and the vehicle is in motion, no response is made, or if the station has not been reached but the vehicle is in a parked state, a prompt can be output to ask the driver whether to perform the response, and the system can determine whether to respond based on the driver's input.

[0041] Furthermore, the method in this embodiment can also be used to automatically reset the vehicle's sliding doors, electric wheelchair guides, and vehicle height, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: S5: In response to the closing of the first target switch, control the target sliding door to close to the position corresponding to the second opening degree; S6: Control the electric wheelchair guide to retract into the vehicle; S7: Control the target sliding door to close completely.

[0042] In this embodiment, the system responds to the driver's input of a closing signal from the first target switch, controlling the target sliding door to close to the corresponding second opening position—that is, partially closed—to provide space for the retraction of the electric wheelchair ramp and to prevent passengers from entering or exiting the vehicle through the target sliding door. Next, the system controls the electric wheelchair ramp to retract into the vehicle. Once the system detects that the ramp has retracted into the vehicle, it further controls the target sliding door to close completely.

[0043] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes: S8: In response to the closing of the second target switch, control the target sliding door to close to the position corresponding to the second opening degree, wherein the second target switch is related to the opening and closing function of the sliding door; S9: Control the electric wheelchair guide to retract into the vehicle; S10: Control the target sliding door to close completely.

[0044] In this embodiment, the system responds to a user-input closing signal from the second target switch and controls the target sliding door to close to the corresponding second opening position. The second target switch in this embodiment is different from the first target switch; that is, the two switches are different, and the functions of the first and second target switches are different. The first target switch can be, for example, a vehicle kneeling switch or an electric wheelchair guide switch, and the second target switch can be, for example, a vehicle sliding door switch, or the first target switch can be a vehicle kneeling switch or an electric wheelchair guide switch, or a sliding door switch. Alternatively, the first target switch can be a switch to activate the auxiliary function, i.e., a switch to activate the method flow of this application, and the second target switch can be a switch to deactivate the auxiliary function, i.e., a switch to reset the vehicle using the method flow of this application. The specific configuration is not unique. When the system detects that the target sliding door is closed to the specified opening position, it controls the electric wheelchair guide to retract into the vehicle. Once the system confirms that the electric wheelchair guide is fully retracted into the vehicle, it controls the target sliding door to close completely.

[0045] Furthermore, after the passenger has finished using the electric wheelchair ramp, the method further includes: S11: Control the vehicle's side kneeling function to turn off, so that the vehicle returns to its normal height.

[0046] In other words, once the system confirms that the target sliding door is closed and the electric wheelchair guide bar has retracted into the vehicle, it will further control the vehicle's kneeling function to turn off, so that the vehicle returns to its normal height.

[0047] Furthermore, in one embodiment, controlling the vehicle to kneel in response to the activation of the first target switch includes: S101: In response to the activation of the kneeling switch, control the vehicle to kneel.

[0048] The first target switch is the kneeling switch. When the driver presses the kneeling switch, the system determines that a response is needed and controls the vehicle to kneel to adjust its height to the specified height. This ensures that after the electric wheelchair guide plate extends, both ends can abut against the vehicle and the ground respectively, and be supported by the vehicle and the ground.

[0049] In another embodiment, controlling the vehicle to kneel in response to the activation of the first target switch includes: S102: In response to the opening of the electric wheelchair guide plate switch, control the vehicle to kneel.

[0050] The first target switch is the electric wheelchair guide plate switch. When the driver presses this switch, the system will determine whether to respond, such as whether the current station has been reached, whether the driver needs to give further instructions to respond, etc. If so, it will determine whether the current height of the vehicle is the specified height. If not, it will control the vehicle to kneel down. If so, it can control the target sliding door to open to the specified opening degree.

[0051] The first opening degree mentioned in the above embodiments includes the opening degree corresponding to a distance of 20cm between the two door panels. Of course, it is not limited to 20cm, and can also be other values. Specifically, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the space required when the electric wheelchair guide plate is retracted and extended.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first opening degree is the same as the second opening degree, or the first opening degree is different from the second opening degree. The first opening degree and the second opening degree include the opening degree corresponding to the distance between the two door panels being 20cm.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, when the vehicle system controls the retraction of the electric wheelchair ramp, it can use image acquisition or pressure sensing to determine whether the passenger has completely left the ramp. If so, the system considers the passenger to have finished using the ramp. If the driver does not provide feedback, the system can automatically output a prompt to indicate whether to retract the ramp or execute the vehicle reset procedure, i.e., the process of retracting the ramp, closing the doors, and restoring the vehicle height to normal. After receiving the prompt, the driver can confirm via a second target switch or input the corresponding command via voice.

[0054] In addition, to ensure that the driver can immediately confirm that the vehicle has been restored to a drivable state, the system can automatically output a prompt after completing the above reset process to inform the driver that the reset is complete and the vehicle can be driven normally.

[0055] The above prompts can be output via a speaker or a designated prompt tone, or they can be output via an additional control panel; the specific method is uncertain.
